Inquiry is the gateway to the Truth

One inquires only when one is not able to explain away ‘what is happening’ or ‘what is troubling one’. The inquiring is one’s gateway to the Truth.

Mind is apt to find its comfort zone through spiritual quotes, ideas about God, self, love and so on. The inquiry is not something verbal or calculative. It takes root when mind is suddenly stilled and is not able to explain away ‘what is happening’ or ‘what is troubling one’. Here ‘you’ is face to face with itself.

Mind is seeking a relieved state by whatever name it may use-God, liberation, realization and so on. It can not ask for more. This is the limit of the mind. It escapes facing unpleasantness and uncertainty by comforting ideas, explanations. Once the escape root stops-one regains one’s original position.
